Safety — Start Up
After performing the site assessment safety procedures listed above, bring the BP-9-1 10V and
the dust collector to the work area and perform the following procedures:
Verify that personnel are competent and that they have read and understood the safety
information in this manual. Staff must also be familiar with how to operate the machine
and with all of its components. Make certain that all personnel follow all safety
instructions and programs required by their company and
by
the worksite.
Verify that all machine parts are assembled safely and correctly.
Note: It is recommended to have original spare parts and wear parts on hand. It is
imperative that the machine receive special attention and regular maintenance in
order to function properly and to operate safely.
Inspect all electrical cords on the BP-9-1 10V for damage, tears, or other signs of wear. If
electrical cords are damaged, then do not attempt to perform blasting operations until
cords have been repaired or replaced.
Inspect the dust collector. Verify that the dust bin is empty, filters are clean and clear of
debris, and motors and fans are in working order.
Note: The dust bin must be emptied whenever it becomes full.
Inspect the duct hose leading from the BP-9- 11 0V to the dust collector. Make sure hose
is free of debris, hose is not cracked and holes do not exist. If necessary replace hose.
Make certain that all screws and other fasteners are tight.
Check the shot storage hopper, the feed spout, and the blast wheel parts for foreign
bodies and remove them if present.
Check the blast wheel blades, control cage, liners, and magnets for damages and wear.
Wear grooves are acceptable until 50% of blade thickness has been worn away. When
blade thickness has been worn away by more than 50%, replace all blades as a set.
Check the front, side, and rear seal system and brush seals for excessive wear.
Check the tightness of the hose connections and the condition of the hose to the filter.
Check the electrical connections for dirt and foreign body deposits.
Verify that the electrical motors are free of dirt and other contaminants.
Check the level of shot in the storage hopper. Refill hopper if necessary.
Verify that the main power cable and the dust hose are free of damage. Replace or repair
all damaged parts before putting the machine into operation.
Connect the blast cleaning machine and the filter unit with the dust hose. Use hose
clamps at the connections.
Connect the supply cable of the blast cleaning machine with filter unit. Connect the
electrical cable of the filter unit with the site supply.
Make certain that the side seals are positioned correctly in the side seal boxes.
Check that the filter dust container has been emptied.
Always blast in a straight line away from the dust collector. Blasting in a straight line
will produce the most uniform results. NEVER RUN OVER ANYTHING WITH THE
BP-9-1 10V! RUNNING OVER AN EXTENSION CORD, AIR LINES, REBAR
EXPANSION JOINTS, OPENINGS IN FLOOR, DRAINS, ETC. WITH THE BP-9-
